Anyone looking to buy drinks online will quickly find a wide selection of mineral water, soft drinks, sports drinks and fruit juice drinks. However, comparing price and pack size alone is not always enough. Ingredients, nutritional values, caffeine content, storage requirements and actual household consumption are also important.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I filter market information according to clear, understandable criteria. This helps you avoid common unsuitable purchases and choose drinks that fit your everyday routine.
A multipack may seem inexpensive at first glance. For a fair comparison, however, you should calculate the price per litre or per can. Deposit charges, delivery costs and the amount of storage space available also need to be taken into account. A 24-pack of cola may be practical for an office household, but it takes up considerably more space than individual bottles or a smaller soft drinks multipack.
Fruit juice drinks and flavoured soft drinks can contain sugar, even when fruit or mineral water is highlighted on the front of the packaging. The nutritional information provides the key figure: carbohydrates and sugar per 100 ml. For example, Maaza Pomegranate Drink lists 10.1 g of sugar per 100 ml, while Hella Cherry contains 3.8 g of sugar per 100 ml.
Terms such as sports drink, vitamin drink or energy drink do not automatically indicate the right use. Look for specific information about caffeine, sweeteners, vitamins and serving sizes. A caffeinated drink is not suitable for every time of day. Food supplements also come with dosage instructions and warnings, so these products should not be treated as ordinary drinks across the board.
First, consider how much you actually consume. For families and households that regularly host guests, 6 x 1.25 litres or larger multipacks can be practical. For smaller households, 0.5-litre bottles or cans are easier to portion.
Also consider:
For example, Hella Cherry is offered as six bottles of 1.5 litres each. Sinalco Cola contains six bottles of 1.25 litres each. Details like these make it easier to plan your home drinks supply realistically.
Always compare the information per 100 ml. Sugar-free drinks may contain sweeteners such as sucralose, acesulfame K or saccharin. If you want to avoid these ingredients, read the ingredients list rather than relying solely on the product name.
Cola and lemonade also typically contain colourings, acidifiers and caffeine. According to the product information, Coca-Cola Vanilla contains 45 kcal and 11.1 g of sugar per 100 ml. Fanta Orange contains 32 kcal and 7.6 g of sugar per 100 ml according to the product description. Check the values on the relevant packaging, as recipes and labelling may change.
Energy drinks and some cola drinks contain caffeine. According to the product information, Monster Energy Mango Loco contains 30 mg of caffeine per 100 ml, or 160 mg per 500-ml can. Product labelling is particularly important for children, pregnant women, people who are sensitive to caffeine and anyone drinking it late in the evening.
Sports drinks should also be selected according to their specific nutritional profile. Powerade Active Water Lemon-lime is described as a sugar-free drink with 0 kcal per 100 ml, sodium, potassium, niacin and vitamin B6. Check the actual bottle size and the usage instructions on the label.
Why this product suits this profile: The six-pack provides a clear total volume for keeping your household stocked. According to the product information, this drink is still and contains 17 kcal per 100 ml.
The pack size and sugar content per 100 ml are stated clearly, making it easier to compare with other soft drinks.
6 x 1.5 litres, still, vegan and gluten-free according to the product description.
Why this product suits this profile: This multipack is suitable for households that like to keep classic cola and lemonade chilled or ready for guests.

The nutritional values and sweeteners used are clearly stated. This helps prevent ‘sugar-free’ from being mistaken for ‘free from additives’.
12 individual bottles, a sugar-free recipe according to the product description, plus information on sodium, potassium, niacin and vitamin B6.
Why this product suits this profile: This 12-pack is aimed at shoppers who want to stock up on a fruity energy drink in individual 0.5-litre cans while keeping an eye on the caffeine content.
The stated 30 mg of caffeine per 100 ml and 11 g of sugar per 100 ml make the composition clear before you buy.
12 mango-flavoured cans, 9% fruit juice from concentrates and stated B vitamins according to the product description.
We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
This depends on the pack size, promotional price, delivery costs and deposit charges. The price per litre provides the most objective comparison. A multipack can reduce the cost per unit, but it is only economical if you use the stock before it goes out of date.
This varies from product to product. According to the product information, Hella Cherry should be consumed within three days of opening. Maaza Pomegranate Drink should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within five days. The information on the packaging always takes priority.
For a mixed supply, you can combine mineral water, flavoured water drinks, cola and lemonade with individual sports or fruit juice drinks. Choose pack sizes based on the size of your household, available storage space and consumption. Caffeinated products should be planned separately from everyday thirst-quenchers.
